Black People : BLM... A Scandal In The Making? Not What You May Think

Really wasn't sure where to post this content, but surely it may be valuable to some when it comes to forward thinking.

With all the posturing and manipulation going on, handshaking and unknown deals to create an illusion of inclusion, there should always be a pinch of skepticism to keep us on our toes, but not necessarily fearful or complacent.

There's a rumour that simply labeling a product with the word “Hokkaido” alone can double sales. Given this situation, the widespread shock expressed at the recent scandal over ground beef is understandable.

When it was revealed just about two weeks ago that the charmingly-named Meat Hope Company was selling pork disguised as beef, apparently because stocks of beef had run out...​

TULSA, Okla. – Horses could soon be butchered in the U.S. for human consumption after Congress quietly lifted a 5-year-old ban on funding horse meat inspections, and activists say slaughterhouses could be up and running in as little as a month.

Slaughter opponents pushed a measure cutting off funding for horse meat inspections through Congress in 2006 after other efforts to pass outright bans on horse slaughter failed in previous years. Congress lifted the ban in a spending bill President Barack Obama signed into law Nov. 18 to keep the government afloat until mid-December.​

TOKYO — Last month, the most recent demographic statistics (for 2010), were released by the government. For both males and females, the longest-lived people in Japan hailed from Nagano Prefecture.

For males, Nagano (with average life expectancy of 80.88 years) was followed by Shiga (80.58 years), Fukui (80.47), Kumamoto (80.29) and Kanagawa (80.25). For females, Nagano was followed by Shimane (87.07 years), Okinawa (87.02), Kumamoto (86.98) and Niigata (86.96).

As Nagano people are well known for consumption of horsemeat, both raw and cooked, Shukan Shincho (Mar 14) raises the question of how diet might figure into the longevity of its populace.​

Yesterday, April 24, I wrote this column here on The Blaze explaining why I no longer support rancher Cliven Bundy.

It seems that people were confused, taking my opinion of Bundy to mean that I was on the side of the Bureau of Land Management and big government. They are mistaken. I do not need to support the man to support the cause. One can be flawed while the other is sound. They are not mutually inclusive.

As a former police officer, I can tell you that there were more effective ways for the BLM to handle the enforcment of Bundy’s delinquent grazing fees. The cleanest and simplest would have been a court order to lean Bundy’s property, cattle, and bank accounts. At no time were armed agents, or an on site confrontation required or warranted. But that is a different debate.​

On Friday, the Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of the Interior issued a damning report about the Bureau of Land Management’s mismanagement of wild horses. The report concluded that agency officials did nothing to prevent a notorious livestock hauler from acquiring nearly 1,800 wild horses and burros over a four-year period and handing them over to kill buyers who sent them to Mexico to slaughter for human consumption. The OIG report exposed the behavior of a Colorado hauler between 2008 and 2012 – overlapping closely with the tenure of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar...​

The Dakota Access Pipeline Project is a new approximate 1,172-mile, 30-inch diameter pipeline that will connect the rapidly expanding Bakken and Three Forks production areas in North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois. The pipeline will enable domestically produced light sweet crude oil from North Dakota to reach major refining markets in a more direct, cost-effective, safer and environmentally responsible manner. The pipeline will also reduce the current use of rail and truck transportation to move Bakken crude oil to major U.S. markets to support domestic demand.
